After enduring yet another attempt at us to give promotion a miss this season, I cant help wondering if all this talk of Tilly running the Marathon tomorrow is something both he and the club can do without.
As we enter our most important end to a season for years, surely the only focus he should have right now is ensuring we achieve promotion, closely followed by the title.
Before anyone says it, yes you are right, if we had won today or last weekend, then I probably wouldnt have posted this, and it wouldnt have crossed my mind. But the fact is, we have taken one point from nine, including two home games against two middle of the road League One teams, and got out of jail at Barnsley last weekend.
My biggest problem with all of this has been the performance of our manager, not our players.
There are players who are playing now who have no right to, whether it be through tiredness, or just lack of form, they should be rested and other players who are fresh and raring to go, being given a chance.
Why does Tilly refuse to change things during a game when they are not working out? Against Gillingham there was a change made with less than ten minutes left, when it should have happened much earlier, up at Barnsley, why didnt the pace of Gray and Cole come on earlier to finish them off and why was it left so late until today before the changes were made again?
Players like Gower should not be playing right now, and Mitchell Cole is fit, fresh and raring to go, so why not play him? Why was Benno only given 5 minutes today when he is fresh and raring to go? I just dont understand it, the team are clearly struggling and yet no changes are being made.
Cole has to start next week, and in my opinion, so does Benno, even if that means sacrificing the Goat for Bradbury to play up front.
Whatever the combination, Tilly needs to start thinking about changing things and freshening things up before it is too late, because believe me, if he doesnt, we are relying on the others to slip up for us to go up!
